BOOK: Stepping from the Edge

Going through a hard time or a battle in your life, or know some one who is? If you read the Bible, of course you read stories and scriptures that are examples of how we are to live through difficult times. In Stepping from the Edge, author Dr. Margaret Aranda reveals her quagmires and her faith. She then answers that timeless question so many have asked her: How do you do it?

This step-wise instruction manual allows anyone to gradually evaluate their belief system and their responses to stress in light of how Christ teaches us to respond. If you believe, that’s one thing. But if you really believe, then you should act like it. It’s all about the choices we make, and in Stepping from the Edge, Dr. Aranda shares real-life examples that empower you to make the right choices and live the life of faith that Christ wants you to live.

BOOK: No More Tears: A Physician-Turned Patient Inspires Recovery

There was a day that my life got stumped. First I was a Stanford doctor, then I became a trauma patient due to a car accident. Now, I could not stand up or else I would faint. The doctor-turned-patient had an invisible disease and the doctors were stumped too. What did I have? Why must I live on IV fluid? In No More Tears, I take you on a ride to the door of Heaven as I describe my near-death experience after a car accident. I was unable to walk and unable to talk, and for over three years, I lived on IV fluid. No More Tears will inspire you to persevere, to speak up, to be that rare bird, that underdog who wins despite the odds.
